- 0:20Speaker 1: that Rafael Devers should get final say on what position
- 0:24Speaker 1: he plays for the Red Sox. It shouldn't be the manager,
- 0:27Speaker 1: it shouldn't be the front office. It shouldn't be anyone
- 0:29Speaker 1: other than Rafael Devers. He's that special. And the Padres
- 0:33Speaker 1: speaking of the Red Sox. The Padres are I eyeing
- 0:37Speaker 1: a deal for Red Sox outfielder Jaren Duran, looking to
- 0:41Speaker 1: get him in a trade. How do you assess this one?
- 0:44Speaker 1: And Astro's pitcher Lance mccullors went public the cheating Astro
- 0:49Speaker 1: with death threats. That turns out it came from overseas.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Was this a good idea or foolish? We'll discuss that
- 0:58Speaker 1: as well, and get the popcorn ready. It's our number three.
- 1:06Speaker 1: It's big poppy talk, is what it is. Welcome in
- 1:12Speaker 1: the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
- 1:17Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere amigos, as we are
- 1:26Speaker 1: from the zombie Apocalypse coast to coast, border to border
- 1:30Speaker 1: and beyond. On the mast and spiffingly powerful microphones of
- 1:37Speaker 1: fs are emmating live from the portal, the transfer portal
- 1:44Speaker 1: deep inside the bowels of Fox Sports Radio, as approved
- 1:48Speaker 1: by not a Burner. He approves that as we are
- 1:53Speaker 1: starting the party in this portion of the Ben Malor Show,
- 1:57Speaker 1: made possible in part by our friends at tirak as
- 1:59Speaker 1: a by ed in Spokane and Christina in Spokane, hear
- 2:02Speaker 1: from them in a while. For over forty years, tire
- 2:05Speaker 1: Rack has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
- 2:08Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
- 2:12Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
- 2:17Speaker 1: mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com, the way that
- 2:21Speaker 1: tire buying show b and so our lead this hour
- 2:29Speaker 1: we get right to the point. Do not dilly dalling,
- 2:31Speaker 1: No dillydaling, get right to the point. So our lead
- 2:34Speaker 1: this hour is from baseball, and we are going to
- 2:37Speaker 1: parse the words of a former baseball player who is
- 2:41Speaker 1: still very much part of baseball as a talking head
- 2:47Speaker 1: on television and Team Ambassador Brandonbassador talking about David Ortiz,
- 2:53Speaker 1: better known by his gangster name, that would be Big Poppy.
- 2:57Speaker 1: So David Ortiz, if you did not hear, he was
- 2:59Speaker 1: doing some charity event in Boston, so the media was
- 3:02Speaker 1: out there and they put microphones and cameras in his
- 3:05Speaker 1: face and David Ortiz danced. He did a little tap dance.
- 3:09Speaker 1: So if you didn't see this as the Red Sox legend,
- 3:12Speaker 1: David Ortiz believes that Rafael Devers that is the big bat,
- 3:19Speaker 1: no common sense player for the Red Sox. So Rafael
- 3:23Speaker 1: Devers should be able to decide, according to David Ortiz,
- 3:26Speaker 1: should decide whether he wants to remain a designated hitor
- 3:30Speaker 1: or go to first base, so he can you make
- 3:33Speaker 1: the call Rafael Devers. The Red Sox have been searching
- 3:36Speaker 1: for a regular first baseman since Tristan Cassis suffered a
- 3:41Speaker 1: snap crackle pop season ending injury to his knee that
- 3:45Speaker 1: will likely end his time with the Red Sox. He's
- 3:47Speaker 1: probably I gonna play for them again, was supposed to
- 3:49Speaker 1: come back in a year. Good luck on that. That's
- 3:52Speaker 1: a different conversation anyway. Ortiz, when asked about the Rafaeld
- 3:56Speaker 1: Devers situation, he said he's doing great as the DH
- 4:02Speaker 1: they asked for it, or Tez snickered and he's doing
- 4:06Speaker 1: great as a DH. Once Cassa's situation goes down, Ortez opined,
- 4:10Speaker 1: in people's minds it was Devers goes to first and
- 4:14Speaker 1: Yoshida goes to DH and we're a better team. Yeah.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Ortiz continued his diatribe. He said, yeah, that's what you
- 4:24Speaker 1: put in your mind. But guess what, David Ortiz stated,
- 4:29Speaker 1: the kid was asked in spring channing to just hit,
- 4:32Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, you want to switch
- 4:36Speaker 1: him over. It takes time, and the implication rather clear
- 4:40Speaker 1: that it's not your decision, multi billion dollar Red Sox,
- 4:45Speaker 1: it's his decision. You might remember that Devers started as
- 4:50Speaker 1: a third baseman. He was the worst defensive third baseman
- 4:52Speaker 1: in the American League, if not all baseball. So Boston
- 4:55Speaker 1: went out and signed cheating astro Alex Bregman, the trash
- 5:03Speaker 1: can banging hero from the dark period of time in baseball,
- 5:08Speaker 1: and so they signed him to a three year deal.
- 5:10Speaker 1: There's an option to get out of the contract after
- 5:12Speaker 1: one year. Devers lately has made it very clear, very
- 5:17Speaker 1: very clear, that he does not want to play first base.
- 5:19Speaker 1: He's also been raking. He's been putting up great individual
- 5:23Speaker 1: numbers for the Red Sox offense. So let us discuss
- 5:26Speaker 1: the question where are you at? Where are you at?
- 5:31Speaker 1: On David Ortiz saying that Raffie L. Devers should get
- 5:35Speaker 1: final say on what position he plays, not the management,
- 5:41Speaker 1: not the front office, so not a manager, but the
- 5:45Speaker 1: player as opposed to the team, the Red Sox. So
- 5:49Speaker 1: I've got pedestal, jab and oxygen, and we will combine
- 5:55Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
- 5:58Speaker 1: put the biscuit in the basket, is what we're going
- 6:01Speaker 1: to do. So first of all, David Ortiz is this
- 6:05Speaker 1: is a take foul. It's hot take foul, and it's
- 6:10Speaker 1: a shooting foul for David Ortiz off his rocking chair,
- 6:17Speaker 1: off his rocking chair on this one. You talk about
- 6:20Speaker 1: being a jock sniffer, David Ortiz, brown noser. I mean,
- 6:27Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people I know in
- 6:28Speaker 1: my life that suck up the place. There's guys, you know,
- 6:31Speaker 1: David Vassay, who sucks up to all the Dodger play.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Like I know brown nosers. I know people who are
- 6:36Speaker 1: brown nosers and shamelessly flattering the player. David Ortiz though,
- 6:42Speaker 1: has gone next level. He has gone next level, Big Poppy,
- 6:46Speaker 1: saying that Devers should have the final say, like not input,
- 6:53Speaker 1: not his opinion should be considered. David Utiz didn't say
- 6:59Speaker 1: that what I think final say on whether he plays
- 7:02Speaker 1: another position because the team asked him to do this
- 7:05Speaker 1: in spring training, and we know no one ever situations
- 7:09Speaker 1: don't change, No one ever asked you to do more.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Once you've said this is what you're gonna do, you
- 7:14Speaker 1: cannot change, cannot do it. What planet are we living on?
- 7:21Speaker 1: Like on my planet? And you're an old head now
- 7:25Speaker 1: like I thought, you have to adapt it's adaptability? Is
- 7:29Speaker 1: that no longer a thing? Do? We now live in
- 7:31Speaker 1: a world where there is no adaptability and we live
- 7:34Speaker 1: in a world where you just do the bare minimum
- 7:37Speaker 1: that drives me us, The bare minimum drives me nuts.
- 7:41Speaker 1: This is a bozo the clown situation. Wawi Kazawi is
- 7:48Speaker 1: where we are in this one. The idea that Rafael Devers,
- 7:52Speaker 1: Rafael efing Devers, who only got the extension because the
- 7:57Speaker 1: Red Sox fed up Mookie Bets and they didn't want
- 8:00Speaker 1: Xander Bolgars and then they signed Trevor Story and he sucks,
- 8:03Speaker 1: so they had to keep They had to keep this
- 8:05Speaker 1: guy Devers, and that Devers is going to dictate, not
- 8:10Speaker 1: the team, not the team, the player Devers is going
- 8:12Speaker 1: to dictate where he plays. It is bonkers me. And
- 8:17Speaker 1: what do I know. I just the overnight shot. Maybe
- 8:19Speaker 1: I'm completely wrong. And you know, player empowerment. Here we go, players,
- 8:23Speaker 1: here we go. You talk about putting someone on a pedestal.
- 8:30Speaker 1: It annoys me when players that earn the pedestal get
- 8:32Speaker 1: the pedestal. Raphaeld Devers is getting the pedestal? Has he
- 8:35Speaker 1: earned it? Did I miss something? I must have missed something.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Maybe I was in a coma. And and that's why
- 8:43Speaker 1: you talk about spoon feeding the player, protecting them, coddling them,
- 8:51Speaker 1: treating them like royalty. What happened? And this is gonna
- 8:55Speaker 1: blow you away? Oh you're just gonna be an old
- 8:57Speaker 1: guy with your don't say it, but don't say what
- 9:01Speaker 1: happened to? Putting the team first, doing whatever it takes
- 9:07Speaker 1: to win the game. You play to win the game.
- 9:10Speaker 1: I was taught that by a player named Rashid Wallace.
- 9:13Speaker 1: You play to win the game. And both teams played hard,
- 9:15Speaker 1: My man, both teams played hard. So you're telling me
- 9:18Speaker 1: that Rafael Devers has veto power. He's like the governor,
- 9:23Speaker 1: He's got veto power here on where he plays. Now,
- 9:26Speaker 1: is that part of the three hundred million dollar contract
- 9:29Speaker 1: he signed with the Red Sox? Was that included in
- 9:31Speaker 1: the offset language? Maybe it was? What a sweetheart deal?
- 9:36Speaker 1: Imagine that if you look at all of the successful
- 9:40Speaker 1: teams in baseball, the teams that actually win. To my knowledge,
- 9:46Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong on this, but nobody is allowing the
- 9:49Speaker 1: players to decide, Hey, here's where I will play, and
- 9:53Speaker 1: if you tell me one thing, you can't change your opinion.
- 9:56Speaker 1: No one has that kind of authority. Who's actually winning
- 9:59Speaker 1: conces instantly. It just doesn't happen.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Now.
- 10:03Speaker 1: Secondly, turning the page, here another story. Now this involves
- 10:06Speaker 1: with the Podres, but it also involves the Red Sox.
- 10:08Speaker 1: For the the Padres are a baseball team who is
- 10:12Speaker 1: teetering on the break. They're a good team, not a
- 10:17Speaker 1: great deal're a good team. And then there's a lot
- 10:20Speaker 1: of chatter that they're gonna start unloading key players at
- 10:24Speaker 1: the trade deadline, which is at the end of next month.
- 10:28Speaker 1: They're gonna start unloading places. But there's also chat they're
- 10:30Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna try to add something. Now, one of
- 10:32Speaker 1: the names that has been prominently mentioned in the latest
- 10:35Speaker 1: rumor cycle is Jared Duran, who is an outfield He
- 10:40Speaker 1: might not know who that is because he's not very good.
- 10:42Speaker 1: He's an outfielder for the Red Sox and he has
- 10:45Speaker 1: been listed as a trade target. Jared Durant bouncing around
- 10:49Speaker 1: the echo chamber of sports conversation. So the Padres said
- 10:53Speaker 1: to be eyeing this Red Sox outfielder Jared Duran in
- 10:57Speaker 1: a trade. How do you assess this one? And I
- 11:00Speaker 1: am a sucker for rumors. I ran a rumor website
- 11:04Speaker 1: years ago, and so my assessment is blah capital B,
- 11:10Speaker 1: blah capital B. That's my assessment. Jared Durant. Now, he
- 11:14Speaker 1: could that's what he's a word. He could address the
- 11:19Speaker 1: Padre's immediate need in the outfield and the lack of
- 11:26Speaker 1: power in the lack of office. There's not scoring enough
- 11:30Speaker 1: runs the patters. However, here's the issue. Jared Duran is
- 11:35Speaker 1: a jab. He's just a bat, and not a great one.
- 11:40Speaker 1: He's a garden variety player. But he was an All
- 11:44Speaker 1: Star last year. Okay, well that was a bit of
- 11:47Speaker 1: a fluke playing in a pinball machine at Finnway Pac.
- 11:54Speaker 1: Jared Duran is the word ordinary. He's the unexceptional, and
- 12:02Speaker 1: he is. He's hitting two seventy one. He's on paced
- 12:04Speaker 1: it ten home runs and strike out one hundred and
- 12:07Speaker 1: sixty two times. Where I come from, that's not a
- 12:10Speaker 1: great ballplayer. Ten home runs and one hundred and sixty
- 12:13Speaker 1: two strikeouts. Now the podres they need help. They're eighteenth
- 12:17Speaker 1: out of thirty teams, eighteenth in baseball and run scored,
- 12:20Speaker 1: which I hear is not good. That, Oh, you're being
- 12:23Speaker 1: too nigive just because you're a Dodger Finn Okay, yeah,
- 12:26Speaker 1: that's right. Eighteenth in run scored. Do you really think
- 12:30Speaker 1: that if you drop Jaron Duran in and you had
- 12:33Speaker 1: him eat in fish tacos every day in San Diego,
- 12:36Speaker 1: that he'd be sitting there and hitting bombs right and left.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Because I don't. All right, quickly, final thought, we go
- 12:44Speaker 1: to the den of iniquity in Houston, where we now
- 12:49Speaker 1: know an intoxicated, degenerate gambler who lives overseas. He is
- 12:57Speaker 1: the person of interest that was behind behind the social
- 13:01Speaker 1: media threats directed last month at cheating as one one
- 13:07Speaker 1: thousand and two, one thousand hole, Lance mccolors, the pitcher,
- 13:11Speaker 1: the cheating a hole and and his family. Now the
- 13:15Speaker 1: man has been gambling on baseball, but he was betting
- 13:19Speaker 1: on the A holes. I guess he thought they were
- 13:22Speaker 1: still cheating. He lost money shockingly and was very upset
- 13:27Speaker 1: and more inebriated than upset. And so those two things,
- 13:32Speaker 1: you put those together and cob boom kaboom, kaboom, kaboom kaboom.
- 13:38Speaker 1: So he sent a bunch of threats to mccolors and
- 13:41Speaker 1: the Astro pitcher of course, went public with it. A
- 13:45Speaker 1: player went to the media, raised a big hole of
- 13:48Speaker 1: blue and said the person was gonna murder his family.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And he's very upset. So Astro's pitcher, Lance mccollors, now
- 13:56Speaker 1: we have more information, So he goes public with social
- 13:59Speaker 1: media debth threats. He's not the only one. There've been
- 14:02Speaker 1: a couple of players in baseball that have done this recently,
- 14:05Speaker 1: but we're talking about Lance percaus. So he goes public
- 14:07Speaker 1: with the death threats. Now we know they came from overseas.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Was this a good idea or was this foolish? So
- 14:15Speaker 1: you've got good idea over here, and you've got foolish
- 14:18Speaker 1: over here. And the arrow is pointing, it's pointing this
- 14:24Speaker 1: way to the to the foolish side.
- 14:27Speaker 3: You do.
- 14:27Speaker 1: What you're doing here is you're giving oxygen to the story,
- 14:35Speaker 1: in this case the fire. So there's a fire, you're
- 14:38Speaker 1: feeding oxygen into the fire, which increases the intensity and
- 14:45Speaker 1: burn rate of the fire. Oh, that's an old take.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You don't know what you're talking about. Well, this is
- 14:52Speaker 1: what I've always believed. If you publicize the social media
- 14:57Speaker 1: trolls that send you threat it's what you have done
- 15:02Speaker 1: is inadvertently and someone say, unintentionally, given the person who
- 15:07Speaker 1: sent that the high of what they want, the attention
- 15:12Speaker 1: that their heart desires. You have promoted this and they're like, oh, man,
- 15:16Speaker 1: I really upset this cat. That's what I wanted, because
- 15:19Speaker 1: that's what a holes and trolls, that's what they try
- 15:22Speaker 1: to do. And also what you're doing is you're creating
- 15:27Speaker 1: more schmucks and more a holes that want that high,
- 15:32Speaker 1: that rocky mountain high of attention because you're encouraging similar behavior.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Is what you're doing. And you're supposed to ignore the
- 15:42Speaker 1: trolls because if you feed the It's like when you
- 15:44Speaker 1: go to the beach and you start feeding the birds.
- 15:48Speaker 1: You know, summertime here, whether it's getting good, right, go
- 15:50Speaker 1: to the beach. What happens if you start feeding the
- 15:53Speaker 1: seagulls you are it's I don't know how they do it.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Every e fing bird for five miles on the beach
- 16:04Speaker 1: find they get the sign, the bird sign, and they
- 16:08Speaker 1: squawk and they come up. They start picking through your
- 16:11Speaker 1: crap and they want more. They want You said, I'm
- 16:16Speaker 1: just gonna feed this one little bird, and what happened?
- 16:20Speaker 1: You know, what happens. That's the same thing with online
- 16:23Speaker 1: trolls and online threats. You encourage other people to do
- 16:28Speaker 1: it because they're seeking notoriety. You know, they're losers. They
- 16:33Speaker 1: don't have anything going on, you know, schmucks. So if
- 16:36Speaker 1: you're in the public eye and this is going to
- 16:39Speaker 1: blow you away, there are actually going to be whack
- 16:42Speaker 1: of doodles who are not happy with you. There are
- 16:44Speaker 1: going to be people that bet on these games that
- 16:46Speaker 1: lose because you suck at your job, and they're going
- 16:49Speaker 1: to blame you. And that's the way it works. There's
- 16:53Speaker 1: a lot of people that you can bind alcohol and
- 16:56Speaker 1: a we call it liquid courage or smartphone courage, keyboard courage,
- 17:00Speaker 1: any of those terms. And so the lob overhand lobs threats. Now,
- 17:08Speaker 1: I actually relate to this story. I've been doing this
- 17:10Speaker 1: job for a while and we have gotten into many
- 17:13Speaker 1: a rhubarb over the years, actually, ironically enough, with the
- 17:18Speaker 1: fine people of Houston who did, for some reason, did
- 17:21Speaker 1: not appreciate my takes. I don't know why. I don't
- 17:25Speaker 1: know why, for some reason they did not appreciate my commentary.
- 17:29Speaker 1: And I've gotten into it with the people in Houston.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I've had some incidence with people from Baltimore, Cleveland, a
- 17:36Speaker 1: couple other places over the years. And so doing this show,
- 17:40Speaker 1: you think, wow, who cares about overnight talk radio? Yet
- 17:45Speaker 1: I have had dingleberries over the years that have threatened
- 17:48Speaker 1: to kill me, have threatened to kill my wife, my relatives,
- 17:55Speaker 1: the whole thing, and ninety nine of that never makes
- 18:01Speaker 1: the air, never makes the air, because I was taught
- 18:05Speaker 1: you don't give that a megaphone. You contact who you
- 18:08Speaker 1: need to contact, and those people I trust you are contacted,
- 18:11Speaker 1: The proper authorities are contacted, and then it's up to
- 18:15Speaker 1: them to figure it out. But this has been a
- 18:18Speaker 1: new thing lately for players to play the victim and
- 18:22Speaker 1: all that stuff, And to me it's you get a
- 18:24Speaker 1: lot of online cred when you play the victim and
- 18:26Speaker 1: people feel sympathy for you and all that stuff. But
- 18:29Speaker 1: you've created more of the problem, right, You're creating more
- 18:34Speaker 1: of the issue rather than solving the problem. You're you're
- 18:40Speaker 1: giving it a much larger amount of attention. Anyway, it
- 18:44Speaker 1: is the Ben Malors Show. If you'd like to comment
